CRANE & HOIST
INVERTER DUTY
MOTORS
Magnetek combines its application experience with
Marathon Electric to offer a line of superior performing,
yet economical, inverter duty motors, designed to meet
the demands of crane and hoist applications.
Blue Max® and Black Max® Motors are manufactured
with premium construction in mind.
Inverter Duty Motors, combined with our precision motor
controls, allow you to maximize the performance of your
overhead material handling system!
Our economical Black Max
Motors are designed to meet the
needs of more common crane
applications through 50 HP.
Blue Max Motors are ideal when the
application requires more precise motion
control and up to 400 HP.
We even offer a high horsepower
version of the Blue Max Motor,
providing up to 1000 HP.

BLACK MAX®
MOTORS
Black Max® motors meet the needs of more common
crane applications. The modular design consists of a
foot mounted NEMA motor, and a "C" face. This design
feature shortens delivery time and can be furnished with
a variety of options, including encoders and brakes.
Capable of a 1000:1 speed range, this motor series is a
perfect companion to Magnetek's Pre-Engineered Single
Motion Crane Controls.
FEATURES:
•½ to 50 HP
•Suitable for CMAA Class A through E
– (½ to 30 HP Cont. Duty)
– (½ to 50 HP 60 Min. Duty)
•1.0 Service Factor on PWM drive
•Totally Enclosed Non-Ventilated (TENV)
•NEMA Design A, optimized for operation
with IGBT inverters
•Class F insulation, with a patented Max Guard ® winding system for use with IGBT variable frequency drives
•Class F thermostats (Klixons) in all three phases
•Modular design with C-Face end bells for maximum
flexibility and quick delivery
•230/460 volt and 575 volt, 3 phase, 60 Hz
•Optional brakes and encoders
•Two–year warranty

MAX GUARD®
INSULATION SYSTEM
The MAX GUARD insulation system combines
corona magnet wire and a unique low stress
winding configuration, to deliver long, dependable
motor life under the stresses of IGBT-based
variable frequency drive operation. MAX GUARD
surpasses the requirements of NEMA MG1,
Part 31, and is standard on BLUE MAX
and BLACK MAX motors.
SEVERE DUTY SERVICE TREATMENT
The severe duty service option is recommended for particularly dirty
or caustic environments, or where the motor is subject to wash down
as part of normal maintenance. Available on BLUE MAX motors,
this treatment includes the following:
• All cast iron construction, including fan covers if supplied
• External and internal surfaces treated with corrosion
resistant epoxy paint
• Lead separator between frame and conduit box
• Diagonally split, gasketed, 4 position, NPT threaded conduit box
• Corrosion resistant, brass, UL approved drain and breather
• Hardware is zinc electrolytic coated with zinc dichromate dip
BLUE MAX®
BLUE MAX®
Blue Max® motors
offer the most complete
line of inverter duty
motors in the industry.
This motor series, designed to Magnetek’s specifications,
is ideal for use in any application where precise motion
control is needed. Tests have shown that these motors are
capable of a 1500:1 speed range when used with our
IMPULSE®•VG+ Series 4 Flux Vector motor control.
For applications requiring
a higher horsepower motor,
Magnetek offers Blue Max
motors in a 5000 series
frame, capable of up to
1000 HP. This motor is
suitable for CMAA Class
A through F applications
and has a service factor of
1.0 on PWM drives. Like our
lower HP version, the Blue Max
High Horsepower Motor is capable
of a 1500:1 speed range, when used with our
IMPULSE®•VG+ Series 4 Flux Vector motor control.
When precision motion control and higher horsepower
are required, Blue Max High Horsepower motors
provide the solution.
